E-911 Board 9/14/26

The Sumner County E-911 Board held a meeting on September 14, 2026, where they reviewed financial reports and operational updates related to emergency communications. A significant procurement discussion focused on the replacement and maintenance of the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system. Initially, funding of $90,000 had been appropriated for a new UPS, but after evaluating vendor quotes and maintenance options, the board recommended deferring the purchase of a new UPS. Instead, they plan to replace batteries, capacitors, and fans on the existing UPS and maintain it for an additional three years, selecting between two vendors (DC Group or Nationwide) based on cost and service options. Other procurement-related updates included the recent purchase of a new power storage system and Comm's Coach software for training and quality assurance. No new motions or votes were required regarding the UPS decision, as funding was already approved. The meeting also covered call volume statistics and recent awards to staff members.
